The Florida Keys Council of the Arts is proud to announce the upcoming art exhibit: “Paint the Music and Dance the Paint”, an exhibition of contemporary Cuban Art, curated by Alaen Ledesma Fernandez.

This exhibition of contemporary Cuban art presents the opportunity to bring together great established artists who inspire and have inspired artists for decades. With over 60 original works of art on display, many different styles of the Cuban school of arts will be on view.

The exhibit is part of the Arts Council’s Art in Public Buildings program, designed to offer an opportunity for artists to exhibit their work beyond a traditional gallery space and enhance the environment of those who work and visit the Gato Building. The show will continue through May 1st, and the Gato Building is open Monday through Friday, from 9:00 am to 5:00 p.m. Closed Saturdays, Sundays, and Federal Holidays
